SUSTAINABLE PLANNER® Software Features
Sustainable Planner® empowers managers to easily “own” their continuity plan data, documents, and plans. Business Continuity or COOP, IT disaster recovery and other continuity plans can be implemented as a sustainable process if managers are “hands-on” in building, updating, and maintaining their continuity plans. Business Continuity/Disaster Recovery professionals can then use their time to analyze exposures, enhance preparedness, and consult with departmental continuity planners.

Sustainable Planner® Capabilities

Intuitive Design

"Dashboard" intuitive design so that plan owners can easily access and update their plan documents and data from one simple screen.

Incorporate graphics or bring data in from other data sources as needed to produce meaningful reports and metrics

Tap SP’s comprehensive “event log” to report on user and system interactions.

Sustainable Planner®’s BenefitsChoice of Templates To Get Started
Some Business Continuity, COOP and IT disaster recovery planning tools are largely “locked down” and force users into a limited planning methodology created by the software vendor. SP is a “templating exclusively environment”. Out-of-the-box, SP comes with a choice of several proven methodologies designed specifically for the unique environments of our government and military. And these templates can be easily enhanced with your terminology or unique data requirements to exactly match Business Continuity, COOP and IT disaster recovery requirements.

End User Trained in less Than 1 Hour
Departmental operations managers will typically be involved in Business Continuity and COOP planning less than 25 hours per year. They already have a full time job performing their daily operational responsibilities. SP was developed specifically to provide direct, uncomplicated access to plan data and documents. Training new planners how to access and use SP takes less than 1 hour – one time. Our clients’ experience has been that training a novice user takes about 15 minutes and 12 months later that same user has retained better than 95% of what they were taught.

Adaptability To Remain Relevant As Your Planning Program Matures
Virtual Corporation is the creator of the Business Continuity Maturity Model®. We are familiar with the variability of how organizations of any kind evolve in their planning practices. SP was design to compliment this understanding. Folder hierarchy, plan content and data elements are completely changeable. Furthermore, SP incorporates functionality to assist the SP Administrator in managing an orderly migration as enhancements to the planning template(s) are completed and ready to be rolled out.

AdLib Express Server is included to provide pagination, table of contents generation and conversion of over 300 electronic file types to PDF reporting format.
